What are some crazy pitcher hitting stats like this?

it’s because of that little mustache he has methinks
I hate seeing Maddux in any uniform other than the Braves.
How dare you post a Twitter screenshot!
Maddux could straight up pick your pocket if you weren’t paying attention
Here’s a good one . . . Curt Schilling committed fraud that cost the taxpayers of Rhode Island over $112 million dollars!
Carlos Zambrano had a career .238 BA, and a career OPS of .636, making him (I believe) the best switch-hitting pitcher of all time.
I forgot he was a padre
A record that’ll never be broken
Greg Maddux broke the mold so much there should be a game around it.
Like true or false one season Maddux drew more walks as a hitter than he allowed as a pitcher.”
Only him would we think “no… maybe… wait… well maybe.”
I saw him in spring training two seasons ado, only thing he’s stealing these days is the donut tray at the hotel.
It’d be weird if it wasnt a pitcher/catcher/fat first baseman etc. Its the guys nobody pays attention to that can just steal it on the pitcher with no throw
I am so hard right now
“Like this” posts a stat that has nothing to do with hitting.
Orel Hershiser hit over .350 when he won the silver slugger. A decent amount of abs for a pitcher iirc.
Scratch or close golfer as well.
Back in the 70s, Phillies pitcher Rick Wise threw a no-hitter, AND he hit two homeruns in the same game, driving in 3 of the Phillies 4 runs.
The 2019 Mets had 4 starting pitchers hit home runs, and 2 of them did it twice – deGrom (2), Syndergaard (2), Wheeler, Matz
There was a pitcher 6 year career 32 wins 33 losses 4.86 era 0.7 career bWAR as a pitcher
As a hitter he went .283/.310/.502 14 doubles 2 triples 9 home runs in 219 plate appearances good for 2.5 bWAR as a hitter
The legendary Micah Owings
It looks like it’s still true that the last switch-hitter to win the AL MVP was Vida Blue.
We used to call him “legs” maddux
I understand why pitchers no longer have a spot in the batting order, but boy do I miss it
I hated when he was on the cubs but damn I miss seeing pitchers like him with that sort of control.
Duh! What kind of shitpost is this??
Greatest base stealers of all time, Everybody knows…
1. Greg Maddux
2. Ricky Henderson
I love this fucking nerd. He was the best
Mad Dog is around, and he don’t play no shit. Cold and calculated, he carves through souls, making them useless; nothing flashy, just cold, calculated knowledge.
On July 3, 1966, in the Braves’ 17–3 win over the Giants at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, Tony Cloninger helped his team’s cause with two grand slams and nine RBIs, both of which still stand as Braves franchise single-game bests. Cloninger became the first player in the National League, and remains the only pitcher, to hit two grand slams in the same game.
Greg Maddux was an all around terrific athlete. He could swing a bat, had quick reflexes, nice base speed & great pitching instincts. All seemingly effortless

And the man who caught him stealing? Tony Gwynn
Madison is his name.
